History

The Superman Symbol is the emblem shaped like an "S" that Superman wears on his chest in different versions of his costume throughout the years. It's first appearance was in Action Comics #1 as part of the character's original design by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. There have been multiple origins presented for this symbol.

Mark Waid's 2003 reboot Superman: Birthright established the symbol as Kryptonian. His parents Jor-El and Lara sent him to Earth with a blanket featuring the symbol.[3] Clark originally believed that it was his family crest, but witnessed greater cultural significance surrounding it in his historical texts and came to understand that it was a symbol of hope.[4]
